Brandon Marshall torched the Giants to the tune of nine catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 27-21 win last Thursday.

But it's what he was wearing on his feet that got him a lot more attention.

In the days leading up to last week's game, the wideout said he would wear green cleats to raise awareness of Mental Health Week -- in 2011, the Bears vet was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Reportedly, the NFL said he'd be allowed to wear the shoes as long as he knew he'd be fined for it.

On Wednesday, Marshall tweeted a photo of the letter he was sent by the league informing him he wore shoes that didn't share the "same dominant base color" as his teammates. That resulted $10,500 fine, along with a message from the receiver about what he was able to accomplish:

Football is my platform not my purpose. This fine is nothing compared to the conversation started & awareness raised. pic.twitter.com/P9GNygFpH9
